"A day has passed, and I don't know how Brother Fengyun's cold poison is cured now?" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Have you heard about the Central Plains, Senior Sister Du?" asked Senior Brother Hao Shichang, who was the Dharma protector outside the room, he was the third disciple of Lu Jinghong, and he had a very gentle temperament, and he could talk to anyone.

Du Ruyue was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened in the Central Plains?"

Hao Shichang said with a smile: "The Khitan in the north has already fought with Shi Chonggui, the Great Jin Emperor, and I heard that Dezhou has fallen. (Note 1)"

Du Ruyue's face changed, and she asked anxiously: "What about Zhenzhou (Note 2), what about Zhenzhou?" Zhenzhou is an important border town to defend the sixteen states of Yanyun, since the Khitan is attacking the Central Plains in the south, they will never let Zhenzhou go untouched and let it threaten their back road. And Zhenzhou was guarded by Du Ruyue's father, Du Chongwei.

Hao Shichang shook his head and replied: "I don't know this, Yangzhou is so far away from Zhenzhou, and now the canal to the north is not passable, and it will take a month or two for the news to come." Miss Du, why are you so nervous, do you have any relatives in Zhenzhou?"

Du Ruyue smiled reluctantly, worried in her heart, no matter what, Du Chongwei is her father, and those people in the Du family are her flesh and blood.

Hao Shichang suddenly remembered those rumors in Yangzhou City, his heart lit up, and asked: "Senior Sister Du, could it be that Du Chongwei, the envoy of the Chengde Army, is really your father?"

Du Ruyue nodded slightly, and Hao Shichang comforted: "Senior Sister Du, Zhenzhou is an important military town in the north, the city walls are tall and strong, and there are tens of thousands of male soldiers, it will not be so easy to be captured, you can rest assured." ”

Rest assured, how can Du Ruyue rest assured? Isn't Dezhou an important military town in the north, the city walls are also tall and strong, and the soldiers in the city plus the people are strong, no less than tens of thousands, and they have not been conquered by the Khitans? If Dezhou is conquered, will the Zhenzhou next to him be better off?

"Senior Brother Hao, what's going on in the north? tell me quickly!" Du Ruyue grabbed Hao Shichang's arm and said hurriedly.

Hao Shichang's heart fluttered, and he said softly: "Senior Sister Du, don't worry, in fact, I don't know much. I heard that the Khitan sent troops in December last year, and the troops were divided into two routes, east and west, to invade the Central Plains.

The Eastern Route Army was personally led by the Khitan Khan Yelu Deguang, gathered the Khitan elite iron cavalry, and mobilized the soldiers and horses of the 16 states of Youyan, totaling 500,000, with Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan, as the vanguard, and the general Yang Guangyuan as the strategy (Note 3), Yelu Deguang sat in the Chinese army and went south, and broke through Dezhou in one fell swoop.

The Western Route Army was led by a great king, and it is said that there were 200,000 iron cavalry, attacking Daizhou, and I don't know if it was captured. ”

Du Ruyue's face was pale, her mind was upset, and she didn't know what to do. She is only a seventeen-year-old girl, and she has only been walking the rivers and lakes for more than half a year.

After two more days of anxious hesitation, Li Fengyun and the others finally came out.

Li Fengyun's twelve meridians were all opened, not only that, but a medicinal power that was originally precipitated in the meridians turned into an internal force like a ghost, which greatly increased Li Fengyun's strength, saved him several years of penance, and was considered the top among third-rate masters.

"Brother Fengyun, what should I do?" Seeing Li Fengyun, Du Ruyue grabbed his arm and said.

Li Fengyun grabbed Du Ruyue's shoulder and asked, "Ruyue, don't worry, what's going on?"

"The Khitan is coming!" Du Ruyue said hurriedly.

"Has the Khitan hit Yangzhou? Not so fast!" Li Fengyun asked puzzled.

"Of course not," Du Ruyue explained, "the Khitan has moved south and has already captured Texas. ”

"What does that have to do with us? Where is Texas?" Li Fengyun touched the back of his head, feeling inexplicable.

"Oh, why are you so stupid!" Du Ruyue stomped her feet and said, "My father is stationed in Zhenzhou, and Texas is not far from Zhenzhou." ”

Lu Jinghong broke a branch, drew a map on the ground, pointed to Zhenzhou and Dezhou: "Zhenzhou is here, Dezhou is here, and the two places are indeed not far away." ”

He said to Du Ruyue again: "Niece Du, don't panic, according to the news I got a few days ago, Zhenzhou has not been broken by the Khitan army. ”

Du Ruyue was a little calmer, and then worried: "The thief chief led an army of 500,000 to the south, even if Zhenzhou was not broken for a while, how long could it hold out?"

"500,000 troops?" Lu Jinghong smiled dumbly, "Where did you get the news, the Khitan East and West Roads are only more than 200,000 in total, where is there as much as 500,000?"

Du Ruyue widened her eyes and asked, "Is this true?"

Lu Jinghong replied: "What am I lying to you for? It must be the news obtained by hearsay from my apprentices, the entire Central Plains, with a population of tens of millions, may not be able to muster together 500,000 soldiers and horses, and where can the Khitan have an army of 500,000 to be dispatched? ”

Du Ruyue listened to Lu Jinghong's words, and thought to herself: "The Khitan has a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, excluding the army on the West Road, Yelu Deguang has more than 100,000 horses at most, and it is impossible for all of these more than 100,000 horses to fight his father, and there are only tens of thousands of horses besieging Zhenzhou." The city of Zhenzhou is tall, and my father has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus the people are strong, how can he make up 50,000 or 60,000 people, and he should not be defeated so quickly by defending the city. "Finally put my mind at ease.

Lu Jinghong added a few more strokes on the ground, added the map completely, and said: "According to the information I have received, the Khitan soldiers and horses are divided into east and west roads, and the east road is the main force, led by the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang himself, and there are about 180,000 soldiers and horses.

Among them, there are 100,000 elite iron cavalry of the Khitan, which is the Chinese army of Yelu Deguang and led by Yelu Deguang himself.

Zhao Yanshou, the king of Yan, led 50,000 Youzhou soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and he had already captured Dezhou and Beizhou, and the troops were directed at Nanle.

The rebel general Yang Guangyuan led 30,000 horses as the flank to sweep away the remnants of the surrounding enemy, and even if something happened in Zhenzhou, he only faced Yang Guangyuan's 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Lu Jinghong pointed to Xinzhou again: "The Khitan West Road soldiers and horses are led by the great king Yelu Anduan, leading 50,000 troops, entering the pass from Yanmen Pass, conquering Daizhou, and the next step is likely to attack Xinzhou." If Xinzhou is broken, Yelu'an can take Taiyuan by entering, and Yang Guangyuan can be persuaded to take Zhenzhou and stabilize the rear, and at that time, Zhenzhou is the real danger. ”

Li Fengyunqi said: "Could it be that Shi Chonggui's guy has no movement? I heard that he blew the cowhide to a loud sound." ”

Lu Jinghong smiled slightly, and said: "How could he not move, I heard that he has sent envoys to the Khitan camp to sue for peace!"

Li Fengyun opened his mouth wide and said, "This can be done, Yelu Deguang is willing to agree?"

"What do you say?" Lu Jinghong asked rhetorically, "If you take your opponent by surprise and can't parry, your opponent will yell at you: 'Don't fight, I'll take a breath first.'" 'Will you agree?'

Li Fengyun shook his head and said, "Of course not, old ...... I'm not that stupid, I'll push him to the ground and beat him up. ”

Su Yunong suddenly remembered that Li Fengyun beat Lu Qingyun violently, and laughed out loud.

Lu Jinghong smiled: "Isn't this it! But it's not Shi Chonggui's kid who is blowing the cowhide, although Shi Chonggui is young and vigorous, but he doesn't have that courage." The bragging Jing Yanguang (Note 4), he said that he had prepared 100,000 horizontal grinding swords, just waiting for the Khitan people to come to the door, and now the Khitan soldiers and horses are coming to the door, but I don't know where his 100,000 horizontal grinding swords are?"

Li Fengyun listened to Lu Jinghong's funny words, and he laughed out loud.

Du Ruyue was still a little worried, and asked: "What kind of great king is that, is he strong in fighting, and what about Yang Guangyuan?"

Lu Jinghong explained: "The great king Yelu Anduan is the younger brother of Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Khitan, I don't know what his ability to fight is, I am a person in the rivers and lakes, I may know some things in the rivers and lakes, how can I know so much about these national affairs?

As for that Yang Guangyuan, he was originally the king of Dongping in the Jin Dynasty of the Central Plains, the envoy of the Pinglu Army, and after Shi Chonggui succeeded to the throne, he was renamed the king of Shou and worshiped as the Taishi. It can be said that he is a high authority, but unfortunately, he offended Jing Yanguang, so Jing Yanguang played Shi Zhonggui, saying that he is now training soldiers and horses, and there are not enough horses, so it is better to borrow two hundred war horses from Yang Guangyuan. There is an implication in these words, implying that Yang Guangyuan's soldiers are strong and strong, which is a great disaster for the country.

When Yang Guangyuan heard this, he was also stiff, and said: "These war horses were given to me by the first emperor, why do you want to take them back now, do you suspect that I want to rebel?", he means that he Yang Guangyuan can get to this day, all by his knife and gun, you can become the emperor, my credit is not small, you are now unloading the mill and killing the donkey, just to force him to rebel.

So, Yang Guangyuan and his subordinates rebelled against the Jin State and took refuge in the Khitan. ”

Lu Jinghong knew that Li Fengyun was vulgar and unliterate, so he explained the meaning of his words clearly, so as not to confuse him.

Li Fengyun said with a smile: "This Jing Yanguang, if it is really not enough, what is the failure." Shi Chonggui's little emperor has such a person, he is really unlucky. ”

Lu Jinghong shook his head and said: "It's no wonder that Jing Yanguang has been ambitious for a long time, Jing Yanguang just exposed his ambitions, Yang Guangyuan saw that things were exposed, and he was not sure that he would succeed in usurping the throne, so he surrendered to the Khitan." At most, it can only be said that Jing Yanguang pushed him.

Yang Guangyuan surrendered to the Khitan and informed the Khitan of the truth and reality of the Central Plains, and the Jin Kingdom of the Central Plains was beaten so badly at the beginning of this war, Yang Guangyuan can be said to have contributed a lot. ”

Du Ruyue said hatefully: "I hate this traitor! I hate to kill him!"

Li Fengyun said: "If you want to kill him, I will definitely help you!"

Du Ruyue looked up at Li Fengyun and said softly: "Brother Fengyun, over there in Zhenzhou, I can't rest assured, I plan to go back to Zhenzhou......"

Li Fengyun interrupted her words and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll accompany you, Zhenzhou is so lively now, how can there be no me Li Fengyun?"

Du Ruyue felt a burst of joy in her heart, and she only felt warm in her heart.

Lu Jinghong smiled and said: "Senior brother, since you want to go back to Zhenzhou with Du's niece, senior brother will not stop you, a good man is ambitious in all directions, he should go around, but pay attention, the war is chaotic, and you need to be careful everywhere."

Fortunately, the hidden dangers on your body have gone, and you only need to practice every day in the future, and the medicinal power will naturally dissipate little by little. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Li Fengyun said happily, "It's just that I can't accompany Senior Brother back to Qingping Town." ”

Lu Jinghong waved his hand and smiled: "What is this? Senior brother is a big living person, can't he go to Qingping Town by himself?"

Su Yunong's heart was made hot by everyone, and he interjected: "Brother Fengyun, I will also go to Zhenzhou with you." ”

Yu Buquan's face sank, and he shouted: "You have a daughter's house, what are you going to do in that kind of place?

Su Yunong was so frightened that he spit out his tongue and lowered his head.

Note 1: The time and details of the battle between the Khitan and the Later Jin Dynasty are slightly different from the historical materials due to the needs of the plot.

Note 2: Zhenzhou, also known as Hengzhou, the specific location can be consulted Du Niang, the starting point does not seem to be allowed on the map.

Note 3: Yang Guangyuan made up the matter for the author, and the plots such as the siege of the city behind are all fictional, but it is true that Du Chongwei sat in Zhenzhou and allowed the Khitans to plunder at will.

Note 4: See Chapter 20 for details, which details the affairs of Jing Yanguang.
